If you have an isa pnp Soundblaster I think the only way to get sound at all is through a modularized driver and isapnp. I never had any luck compiling sound into the kernel directly, but it has always worked perfectly when compiled as a module and initialized by isapnp at boot. Now that I am back to using 5.2, it will be interesting to find out why 5.3 partially broke sound on my box. I imagine by 6.0 this will be a non-issue as I believe that 2.0.36 will use a 2.1.x style sound driver, which, if I'm not mistaken, is different than how sound is handled in 2.0.x kernels. Fred A.

I have the AWE-64 (ISA), and was unable to get sound compiled as a module or in the kernel, so paid my $20 for the OSS drivers. I notified
